So don't go away just yet... ;)

I look forward to your groups Jesse. You've got serious skills to do this with a springer!

Possibly part of the problem is that unless you shoot in the "Master" division, you don't stand a chance in the Matches.... Whenever I have had time to shoot and entered, I was never the top score, and I have never shot 50/50, I think my best was a 48/50, and I have entered with lots of 46's and 47's.... I am currently rated as an "Expert", as I have never shot a sub 1 MOA group....
I know it would be fractionally more work, but is there any point in breaking the results down by NUAH Division, instead of caliber?.... After all, we already score "down" to help out the smaller calibers.... 8)

Actually Bob, I think this is a good idea. It might be considered to be more fair and there would be winners in multiple divisions. Also, each division might be more evenly matched, and perhaps make it more interesting ( I.e., fun).
Honestly, I think some of the newer technologies, especially as it relates to air rifles; can offer an advantage and enhance your ability to shoot more accurately at 100 yards. Not an endorsement by any stretch, just my personal experience shooting BR with both the RAW and Safari the last couple of years. As an example only, I’m 100% certain that I cannot shoot my FX Royale .22, HW100 .22 or Taipan .25 as accurately at 100 yards. Ask me how I know 😀
I’m only one opinion for your idea and maybe another poll may solicit some other opinions.

I agree with you Tom. I never shot a moa group, or much less a 50/50 until I got my hands on my "Boss". I have since done it with my FX500 and Cricket Custom, but not as regular as the Boss will do it. I have yet to do it with any of my .22 cal guns.
JuryRigger:
That does sound like a good idea Bob; it would fit right in with the spirit of improving one's shooting-as to pull off a qualifying group for any one division is easier done once than multiple times with consistency-but competing in the Matches within one's class would then hone the skill further; until an upgrade could be made to the next division.
